Friends, today in this article we will learn about the application of solar energy. I am going to give information about all this in a very good way. So let’s start.
The different uses or applications of solar energy can be divided into three general categories.
(a) Direct thermal application
It includes water heating, air heating, desalination, wood drying, drying, solar cooker refrigeration, water pumping, process heat, energy efficient buildings, power generation etc.
(b) Solar power applications
This includes descriptions of methods for converting solar energy into electricity directly or indirectly.
(i) By evaporating water or other liquid at high temperature using solar thermal energy, then evaporating water in a heat exchanger to drive a turbine to which an electric generator is connected, and obtain electricity. This process is called solar thermal power generation.
(ii) In the second method, solar energy is directly converted into electricity, in which the main method is solar cell or solar photovoltaic system.
(iii) The third method is thermoelectric effect in which heat is directly converted into electricity.
(iv) Wind energy, which is a form of solar energy, is first converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy, which is an indirect application of solar energy.
(c) Biomass and biogas
Electricity is produced by producing thermal energy from biomass and biogas in which solar energy is used or by running engines and generators from biogas. Similarly, the objective of the Micro Mini Hydro Power System Program is also to produce electricity from low-drainage water resources. The main applications of solar energy are as follows-
(1) Solar water heater
(2) Heating houses or buildings using solar energy
(3) Solar air heater
(4) Electricity generation from solar thermal energy
(5) Electricity from solar photovoltaic
(6) Solar Cooker
(7) Solar desalination or distillation
(8) Solar Water Pumping
(9) Solar Agricultural Industrial Process Heat or Process Heat
(10) Solar oven
(11) Solar Green House
What did you learn today :-
Now you must have known the applications of solar energy and you must have got the answer to all these questions well.
